Well, well, well, just 31.4 overs this second innings has lasted and Australia have blazed England away, this latest victory by a whopping 281 runs and Australia complete a 5-0 Ashes whitewash. The juggernaut revved up after tea and Ryan Harris, Mitchell Johnson and Nathan Lyon have steamrollered England into surely the greatest embarrassment in their history. The tourists' fond memories of three years ago have been totally eradicated here with an utter annihilation.

The tourists' fond memories of three years ago have been totally eradicated here with an utter annihilation. Man of the Match is awarded to Ryan Harris for his eight wickets in the match, richly deserved I think, he has been outstanding since coming back for Australia in the second Test at Lord's, not least in managing to stay fit.

Man of the Series , a toss up between Brad Haddin and Mitchell Johnson. There's an X Factor-style delay and...it goes to Johnson for 37 wickets at 14! What a comeback from Johnson, a tearaway fast bowler who couldn't keep it on the cut strip but now he's back as one of the leading quicks in the world. He terrorised England in this series, especially in the first two Tests, especially at Adelaide with that incredible spell in the first innings.

idk Bob, why did Aus play so poorly over the past 5 years, but so brilliantly between 1989 and 2004? These things go in cycles I guess.

Time for England to rebuild now and time for Aus to carry on their excellent form :)
